Thawing Butter
If a recipe calls for softened butter and you only have a "hard-as-brick" stick still in the refrigerator or freezer, don't worry. Just unwrap and pop it into the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on defrost for 20 seconds. If necessary, microwave the butter a few more seconds, making sure it does not melt.
